Implantology is the branch of Dentistry concerned with replacing missing teeth and restoring the function, appearance and balance of the mouth.
The replacement of lost teeth can be partial or complete.
Implant rehabilitation is partial when the patient still has some healthy teeth and only the missing teeth are restored.
When it involves rehabilitating all the teeth in one or both dental arches, we consider it to be a complete rehabilitation.
Yes! Nowadays, modern implantology allows the entire process to be performed in just one day in some cases, with not only the implants being placed but also temporary fixed teeth within less than 24 hours, using techniques such as All on Four and All on Six.
For immediate implant placement, it is necessary to evaluate the quality and quantity of bone, the number of implants, and the teeth that will be implanted.
However, with conventional implants, it is necessary to wait for 3 months to place the tooth crown.
At Atelier do Sorriso Dental Clinic, in the Algarve, we use laser technology in our implant placement surgeries.
Using laser technology in dental implant surgery can provide several benefits, including:
Overall, the use of lasers in dental implant surgery can provide numerous benefits, resulting in less discomfort, faster healing, and improved outcomes for the patient.

Dental implant is a titanium cylinder that replaces the lost roots of a dental element (inner part of the tooth).
After the period of osseointegration of the implant to the organism, it will receive a crown or bridge to replace the lost tooth.
Dental implants vary in diameter (3 to 6 mm) and length (4 to 18 mm). Depending on the height and bone thickness of the jaws, the diameter or length are planned to improve the support capacity of the crowns.
No, implant placement is not painful. Anaesthesia is local, exactly what is taken to make any dental treatment.
The postoperative period is also not painful, and we recommend only an analgesic, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and rest on the day of surgery.
Here at Atelier do Sorriso Dental Clinic we use world-renowned dental implants with enhanced quality and employs the best and most effective technologies available on the global market.
All implants are made of titanium, a material compatible with the human body, and all companies are evaluated and receive a license for commercialization, thus ensuring their quality.
There is no rejection, what can happen is the formation of low-density bone around the implant, and the procedure has to be repeated. As long as patients follow all the instructions given by their dentist, the chances of non-integration are minimal – the success rate is 99%, that is, for every 100 users, we will eventually be able to 1.
Generally, anyone. However, sometimes the patient cannot have the implant at a certain time or because of a certain condition. The important thing about the patient is that he has a good general state of health.
Untreated diabetic people; uncompensated hypertensive patients; patients with heart problems who do not follow treatment; people who use drugs that affect bone healing; patients undergoing radiation therapy; and people with little bone thickness in the area of implant placement (they need previous grafts).
